The Series 9 notebook range has also been updated, with two new models, the first of which is the NP900X4B. This is a 15in device that weighs 1.59kg, is 14.9mm thick and is powered by a second generation Intel Core i5 processor. It also has 8GB of memory and a 128GB SSD.

The 13in model, the NP900X3B, weighs 1.16kg, is 12.9mm thick and also runs on a second generation Intel Core i5 processor. It also has up to 8GB of memory and a 128GB SSD.

Bouman added that the firm had worked to enhance the devices based on feedback from customers on previous models in the Series 9 range.

"Our engineers worked very hard to develop the amazingly thin form factor and one of the most compact chassis in the world, which allowed us to house a 15in display in a 14in chassis," he said.

"We also made changes to the new model based on customer feedback, such as the inclusion of a 1600x900 high-resolution screen."

The firm also touted the performance of the devices, claiming they can both boot up in less than 10 seconds, while the 15in device is said to have a battery life of up to 10 hours.

The 13in device will retail for $1,399 and the 15in for $1,499, with both products available from 27 February.
